"You want to be respectful in the surf line up, for example, if someone's riding a wave they have priority and you need to as a paddler get out of their way. Stingrays, the season where they are a concern in Southern California are between like May and October. Sometimes you hear when you come in and out of the water to shuffle your feet to try to disrupt the sand and scare them away."
